Now that I have found Elvis (for the PC), got him reserected (compiled
and running) I find him to be as overweight as he always was. Does anyone
besides me find it slooooowwww. It is using bios ints for all screen i/o
which is robust but too slow for me. Has anyone made any modifications
so that all screen i/o is done directly to video memory. I'm sure
that would speed things up a lot.
 
On a related note: Elvis starts up with a dark blue background with
light blue text which I find really annoying and haven't found any
way to change it. Can it be changed?
